I believe politicians should be judged and evaluated by their actions and effective policies and how those established policies work to the betterment of the population that they are designed for.
political party name or identity is really irreverent
Some people attache themselves to parties and fight to protect the representative of that party tooth and nail by presenting misinformation and structured self serving biases, kind like religious devotion and uncompromising loyalty .
I can think of one religious organization where its member are very much like that .
